Heritage / LOTG wins
 

Let's see them!

Won this in Heritage, really wanted one ever since seeing Kawika's...

This was my only win. I bid on most of the E105s, really wanted the Dooin. Ended up being the underbidder. Thought about bidding one more time when I woke up at 6am and the auction was still going (!), but decided to let it go. I was an underbidder on the D303 Mother's Bread Marquard also.

Super excited to land this... 7 down - 2 to go!!!

I was under bidder on that one. I won the Dixie cigarettes right fielder. And the 37 opeechee feller.

I won the lot of HOF autographs from LOTG. The bidding experience was excellent. Simple and straightforward.

Can't wait to get these. I have projects planned for a few of them. Going to match the Bunning and Roberts signatures up with Perez-Steele HOF postcards and make a pair of matted, framed pieces to hang in my home office. Same goes for the Negro League stars.

Very happy to have taken part in this auction. Thanks, Al, for putting on a first class production.

Best regards,

Eric

I was the only bidder on the Gehrig Goudey display board. Very cool. Surprised and happy to have that locked down at 9pm.

Also bought the Ruth picture (from Babe Comes Home) that I believe a fellow board member consigned.

Panorama
 

Was thrilled to win this one

I really love big fat bordered T206's.

I won 7 of little Oliver's 1914 CJs in LOTG.

Novelty Cutlery
 

Priced out of a Lajoie I entered a low cost bid for this card. Schaefer coached and played 1 game with Cleveland. With a little bit of a stretch I happily add this to the type collection.Attachment 251625

I won this, but was outbid on all my prewar wants in both auctions.

T206s
 

Picked up a few T206s to march closer to my set -- with these I'm now up to 513!

Not Pre-War, but these are my Heritage Wins:

LOTG Zach Wheat Red Hindu.

Nice Raymond...if I was a betting man, you might of placed a few bids on mine as well??
Anyways, after stepping backwards, I fulfilled the empty spots I once had by replacing them.

Considered bidding on the cy young. Great price imo because it will display nicely.

These "offgrade" HOFers were really reasonably priced for sure.

E300
 

Picked up my third Plow's Candy from LOTG. For some reason Harmon is the only card in the set without a ballpark background.

Heritage
 

Heritage wins.

I picked up four pieces in last Nights LOTG auction the first was a 1915 Cleveland Season pass (Shoe less Joe's last season with Cleveland) that I was the only bidder on. Back has paper attached from a Scrapbook but should be able to remove. Next was the Nu Grape 1929 A's premium I will not be doing anything to it but framing under UV museum glass and enjoying. Third was the 1914 Baseball world tour book with cover completely off and in a Frame. I will have some restoration done to preserve this and pass it on at some point. The last was the 1904 Highlanders program with Keeler and Griffith on cover. NY Vs Boston April 16 1904 The Pilgrims of Boston fresh from their victory in the very first world series visit NY opening weekend of the 1904 season this was the third game. Really excited about this one..

Love me some Wajo.

Here are mine from Heritage.

Nice wins. I love that green Wagner. I was an early bidder before bowing out. Glad it went to a board member!

These two are my personal favorites from the Novelty Cutlery set. They have a complete background and achieve an altogether more photographic look than most in the set, note that the photos were taken in the same location.

1889 Abell & Priest Oakland BBC Cabinet
 

Very happy to have picked up my first ever 19th century cabinet team card in LOTG. 1889 Oakland Colonels team cabinet card SGC 10. Presents beautifully and has great eye appeal. Always wanted a 19th century team cabinet card. Don't get many cracks at obtaining one.

signed 33 and 34 Goudeys
 

I won this lot and would like to sell most of them. Please let me know if there are any you need.
Thanks,
Scott.

Heritage and LOTG wins
 

picked up a few "rookies" for my collection from HA and LOTG:

c1936 Ted Williams, c1938 Monte Irvin photos, and an 1889 OJ Billy Hamilton w/ incredible contrast (not pictured):

Thanks, Sam! That's always been one of my favorite Wags images. Great pickups, everyone.

Loving, LOTG
 

Got a couple firsts, excited to add a Red Hindu to my back run and for what I felt was a great price. The postcard had me laughing out loud, I was happy that no one else found it as amusing as myself, as I was the only bidder.

This is the coolest piece IMHO.

Nice win Bob.

Here's my pickup from LOTG

From LOTG. I have wanted one of these for my type collection for a long, long time - an early Merry Xmas to me!

Anyone receive their winnings yet??
Paid on Nov 20th via Echeck. No tracking number yet.

Edit:
I did go thru my invoice and noticed this part:

Received last Friday, paid by credit card.

DJ

HA
 

Heritage shipped my winnings BEFORE I paid the invoice.

I got mine last Wednesday.

Same here, but my invoice was about $1k. Bigger lots they wait.

I had a large invoice from Heritage and paid via eCheck the day I got my invoice (last Sunday?) - I got an email today stating my order had shipped. If I remember right from calling them about it, eCheck puts a 5 day hold on your order for it to clear, before they will ship.

Maybe the Thanksgiving holiday caused some additional delays for some?

Me too! My stuff was under $200

My auction wins are primarily post-war Mantle stuff, but I'll throw in my $2 worth anyway. I paid for winnings from both auctions by check via snail mail. Sent checks on the 22nd. Love of Game hit my bank on the 29th and Heritage hit on the 30th (this check went all the way from Austin to Dallas, about 240 miles). LoG under $400 and Heritage under $300. Still waiting for both, unsurprisingly. I think the Thanksgiving Holiday is definitely affecting the time for both.

Of other note, also still waiting for Hunt and Mile High winnings. Checks also sent via snail mail. Both checks sent the 15th and both hit the bank on the 22nd. MH was substantial and Hunt was a little more than $1k. Hopefully they'll be on their way soon.

I guess the lesson is don't send payment via snail mail if you're in a hurry to receive winnings. Fortunately, I'm not in too big of a hurry.

I'm also waiting for my Hunt winnings. The check cleared my bank Nov. 23. :(

Heritage sent mine before payment received too. Invoice: $19,600.

Wow, I paid 8 days ago and nothing yet. Invoice - $3,500

Lotg
 

Did anyone receive their LOTG Winnings? I'm looking forward to receiving mine.

tracking
 

I just got tracking info today from LOTG.

I just got tracking information also.

Got mine yesterday. Despite the fact that the postman ignored the signature required requirement and left the cardbox box on a wet bench, all fine.

AAAARGH! This makes me crazy!

Sorry to hear this, hopefully we pack things well enough that there are multiple "lines of defense" between your stuff and the elements. We try and make sure everything is REALLY well-protected.

For those still waiting for shipping notices and such, trust that we're chugging away - the Thanksgiving holiday shut us down for a few days (and also kept some important shipping materials from being delivered) but people still paid during that time, so we're working hard to get caught up. We're pretty close but not quite there yet. We had more winners in this auction than ever before (thanks!), and a boxing auction on top of that, so there are something like 500 packages to ship!

Thanks to everyone who participated in either auction!

-Al

Steve, glad to hear that you received it and that your winnings were safe and secure. The PO can be frustrating at times.

Thanks
 

Thanks Al for another great auction! I certainly appreciate you guys packaging everything so carefully and securely. LOTG always top notch!

My regular guy is great. But when he's out some younger guy just ignores the signature required part of it and dumps the package. I don't get it. Does he sign something fraudulently with my name? Odd. Or does he think they are asking for his signature?

Al, was packed well and I picked it up a few minutes after he dropped it off. All good.

Al, thanks for letting me register at the last minute.

Mike

Ok. Just got my tracking # this afternoon from Heritage, says Dec 6th expectancy.
That takes a load off my concerns from previously posted.

And I just got my tracking info from Hunt. Ten days after they got my check, nine days after it cleared. :mad:

Heritage -- "Paid, Thank You" -- no tracking as of today :( -- 5K+

LOTG --- Got them --- Love them :)

"Upgraded" a few backs with these tougher mid-tiers:

Attachment 253103

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

No tracking from Heritage despite a follow up phone call where they said it would for sure be last week. Not Christie's bad but could be better.

Got my tracking number late last night, probably going out Monday

I have to say for Hunt, they were lightning fast for me. They shipped my winnings for this past auction they day they received my check. The check wasn't even cleared until 3-4 business days later. Granted, my winnings were only around $500, but this happened in the previous auction also.

Nothing from Hunt either. Check around 5K cashed over a week ago from them. No tracking and no email. Nothing like taking care of a 20 year customer. I will be emailing Lisa tomorrow on this as she is normally pretty good at making things happen.

Heritage I received my winnings within a week. Normally, you have to request priority shipping if you are a platinum member. Not sure what the policy is to become a platinum member though. I haven't had any bad expierence with them other than the long wait time for their accounting to settle consignments a month after auction close. Peter does a great job there along with Derek.

It seems PWCC is the only one who consistently ships lots timely to everyone. I have had great experiences with Hunt, Heritage, Huggins and Scott, Sterling and REA every single time I have won. It is unrealistic to expect a house to be able to ship everyone's wins at the same time. Some have to be first while others are not first. That said Leland's and sadly, LOTG, have been by far the slowest on getting product delivered of all the houses I deal with. It might be worth paying the extra 3% next time and taking advantage of using paypal with LOTG. My guess is those orders ship more promptly. As for Leland's...not sure how to fix that one.

Got my Hunt item today. I must admit that once they got around to shipping it, it did get here quickly. :)

Finally got notice from Hunt (13 days after check hit bank) and Heritage (5 days after check hit bank) that winnings were being mailed. Still waiting to hear from Mile High (now 14 days after check hit bank).

I'm with you on that ... I like the nice white borders and the symmetrical wear. Congrats.

FedEx stopped by today with winnings from Mile High. Never got a notice that it was mailed, but very glad that it is here. Heritage got here today by USPS.

Waited until it came in, kind of superstitious when it comes to posting things before they arrive.

Here he is in all his glory. A period autograph, to boot.

As we know you are a Greenberg collector that is some great card. Congrats...

For me, once a card has shipped and I have tracking, I will usually disclose it but usually not until then. :)

Thanks Leon for the kind words!

That is beautiful!

If it comes from a reputable AH I wouldn't worry about someone stealing the deal once the auction closes. I've never heard of that happening.

Thanks Jeff!

Of course I was only talking about AH's when discussing wins before arrival. Or if it is an extremely trustworthy ebayer...
